TIPS FOR GRINDING & TAMPING
3. Filter Baskets
• Single Wall Filter Baskets
These work with freshly ground coff ee
grinds and are supplied with the Barista
Max.
One Cup
Note: Pre-ground coffee grinds are too
coarse to use with Single Wall Filter
Baskets.
• Dual Wall Filter Baskets
These work best with pre-ground coff ee
grinds, but can also be used for freshly
ground coff ee grinds.
One Cup
These are available for purchase from
Breville. Details are on the back page.
4. Grind Dosage & Tamp Force
For best results, the amount of coffee
grinds used should remain consistent.
The unit is pre-programmed so that for
every grind setting, when it reaches 1.0
approx 13g has been dispensed, and 2.0
19.5g. These are the perfect quantities for a
single (1.0) or double (2.0) shot. Even if the
grinder is adjusted the machine recalibrates
to give a consistent dose of grounds.
The Barista Max+ allows you to perfect
your espresso taste by adjusting the
grinding to allow less grounds: for example
you can grind less for a double shot (1.8)
or more (2.2), with the LED display once
you have the perfect espresso you can
ensure you get consistent dosage and
brewing results by always grinding to your
preferred dose.
Note: It is normal for the correct dose of
coffee grinds to appear overfilled in the
Filter Basket before tamping.

Tamp force is very difficult to gauge, the
consume could practise using some kitchen
scales to see what 10-15kg feels like.

optimisation examples
The extraction fi nishes dispensing in
15s. The water is fl owing through the
grinds too easily, and the coff ee will be
under extracted and light in colour.
• Reduce the grind size to a fi ner
setting, but keep dispensing to 2.0
and tamp with the same pressure.
When the coff ee dispenses in 25-
30s the espresso will be perfectly
extracted.
The extraction fi nishes dispensing in
45s. The water is struggling to pass
through the grounds, and coff ee drips
slowly from the portafi lter. The coff ee
will be over extracted and very dark in
colour
• Increase the grind size to a coarser
setting, but keep dispensing to 2.0
and tamp with the same pressure.
When the coff ee dispenses in 25-
30s the espresso will be perfectly
extracted.
a stronger coff ee, Person B likes a
weaker coff ee, both want a double
espresso
• Person A grinds to 2.2, Person B
grinds to 1.8. to vary the amount
of coff ee put into the portafi lter. All
other variables should be kept the
same.
